Summary: She is in an Impossible Position. Can Love Find a Way?
Review: Young college student Gabriella "Gaby" Holt has been studying Italian abroad, taking a nine week immersion course at the University of Urbino, about a hundred and fifty miles south of Rome. She has made friends with a poor and shy Italian boy about her age named Giovanni. The day before she is scheduled to fly back to her home in Nevada and to her studies at the university there, Giovanni invites her to a nice restaurant. Gaby worries about whether or not he can afford it.Giovanni picks her up in an expensive black car with a chauffeur. The driver turns out to be his older brother Luca, who speaks perfect English and tells her to call him Luke, and the restaurant turns out to be the local castle. It seems Giovanni has not been entirely honest with Gaby. He is going to be the next duke and is wealthy. It also seems that he is bringing her home to introduce her to the family as his intended bride. However, she is not in love with him. To complicate matters, she feels an immediate attraction to Luke and to further complicate matters, it turns out that the reason older brother Luke isn't in line for the dukedom is because he's forsaken all earthly things. He is going to be taking his final vows and enter the priesthood in only a few days. What is Gaby to do? She doesn't want to hurt Giovanni? And she certainly can't come between a man and the priesthood. It seems the best thing for her to do is go home to Nevada, but perhaps Giovanni and Luke have something to say about that. Ms. Winters has written a lot of romance novels in the four plus decades that span her writting career and this one is right up there with the best of them.
